Islamic Guidance on Marriage

Marriage in Islam is much more than a social contract; it is a sacred and divinely ordained institution that plays a crucial role in completing a believer’s faith. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emphasized its significance, stating, "When a man marries, he has fulfilled half of his religion, so let him fear Allah regarding the remaining half." (Mishkat al-Masabih). This hadith highlights that marriage is not only a means of companionship but also a spiritual commitment that strengthens a Muslim’s connection with Allah.
